Since we spotted the Brazilian formation Rakta in a CVLT NATION mixtape - almost a decade ago - we’ve been following every part of their cruise. While the band has left marks beyond well-worn paths already with their eponymous album “Rakta” they kept on gradually moving from death rock tombs into heavy hallucinatory waters. And with “Falha Comum”, their last album from 2019, they pushed it further towards that direction: A daring, damn fine piece of sorcery, dissolving the driving post-punk patterns into a kettle of psychedelic brewage. The song “Flora de Pele” is somewhat (in a nutshell) the audible chronicle of the band’s evolvement.
